Red, white and blue - here's a beautiful sea of colour in fields at Bromfield, near Ludlow.

This is the much-admired borage crop growing alongside the A4113, with some poppies and ox-eye daisies springing up in the field margins.

Bees love borage and there was a constant buzz the whole time I was there - the unmistakable sound of summer.

For the technically minded, I used a process called focus-stacking to get the shot I wanted.

It involved taking a series of pictures on a tripod at the same focal length (90mm) but at different focus points.

This particular shot is made up of 10 pictures - the first focused on the daisies and the final one on the trees - and the result is an image that is in focus from front to back.
